I like that he tried to keep the look somewhat like the original 2 liter wheel. I'm holding back judgment for the completed project. They may look nice in the brushed gold/black combo

I'd like to see a complete wheel, preferably mounted on a 914 ...

Probably heavier & less strong than the OE forged aluminum Fuchs 2L wheels he's trying to look like! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

If he is smart he will make them 6" wide.

I imagine they will be 16 or 17" dia...

Well, since it has Magnus name associated with this wheel, I should by a set so I can stay current - just joking......ya I must be on drugs if I really did that. Only Factory Fuchs for me.

Will reserve final judgement until I see a completed wheel, but as is it looks too flashy and too contemporary for me...

That looks unfinished to me. Very chunky and grooved. Not consistent with the other wheels they make.

Factory 2.0 Fuchs:

40+ years old
No history of use or abuse by previous owners
Only available in 15x5.5 width

^None of those attributes makes me want to ditch my wheels for a set of factory 2.0 Liter Fuchs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


I'll take a 1 to 1.5 pound hit to have something not strained or ready to fail, that and the added bonus of different widths and diameters is a huge bonus.

I doubt I could ever afford them so I'll stick with what I have....I'd be rocking his 5 lug version if I had the coin.

Makes me think that spending $300 for a set of 5 cookie cutters was a no brainer. And I'll keep my 2.0 Fuchs on my 4 lug car.

Hopefully they'll have some decent lip on them. I'll never be able to afford them though, but cool project and definitely rad that he's keeping the 4 lug.

Also I have to thank him for getting a company to make a new wheel for the car. Support seems to be non existent for 4x130, unless they are repro's.

That could have been designed in Solidworks in an hour...or more likely less.

Imho, you just can't improve on Fuchs, no matter how many holes you drill in them
